The 2024 White House Easter Egg Roll was attended by close to 30,000 children and parents.  Sixty-four thousand eggs were available for hunting, rolling and consumption.  Over half of the total was donated by Braswell Family Farms, with eggs brightly dyed in orange, green or purple.

A feature of the White House Easter celebrations is the presentation of the annual commemorative egg to the First Lady. In 2024 this comprised a cluster of eggs produced by Carolyn Bickel of Nashville, TN.  The display was based on education and aspiration, sentiments promoted by the First Lady, Dr. Jill Biden.  The largest egg portrayed a young girl dreaming of her potential with a second egg displaying a blue sky symbolizing possible achievements.  The smaller pullet eggs were painted with imagery representing aspects of education including science, music, engineering and mathematics.

An additional activity included reading to children using the First Lady’s Reading Nook. Molly Weaver, representing the third generation of Weaver eggs, in Versailles, OH. and Jana Zweering from Zoet Poultry in Holland, MI. took turns in reading.

In commenting on the Easter activities, Emily Metz, president and CEO of the American Egg Board, stated, “As a legacy partner of the White House Easter EGGucation Roll, we are honored that eggs played a starring role in the Washington, D.C. longest-running springtime tradition.”  She added, “I am so grateful for the hard work and contributions of our egg farmers who support our national Easter celebration each year with their hard work, time and generous donations.
